Annual Turkey Run State Park Biking Week

Each year before Memorial Day, we travel with our biking friends to Turkey Run State Park. It's located in Park County Indiana. Our group was the largest ever - 24 persons. Some of us camped in the park in our RV's and others stayed in the Lodge. Here's our RV.


The terrain is quite different than here in Northern Indiana. There are hills!! The weather this year was perfect - temperatures in the 70's and 80's, no rain, and low humidity. Park County is noted for it's covered bridges. We saw several on our bike rides. Ruthann and I rode 4 days and covered 135 miles. Quite a work out. Here are some scenes of our ride.

















One route took us through a small town, Ferndale, that had an old country store. In past years, this store was open. However it is now closed. We did have our picture taken on the porch.






Several days we carried our lunch, usually consisting of peanut butter and banana sandwiches, fruit, and veggies. Other days, we did find a deli where we could buy a sandwich. One of our favorite towns was Bridgeton where there is an old mill and bridge in addition to a local deli.



























One evening, we had a carry-in meal. We had quite a variety of food. It was enjoyed by everyone.





We had a great week with the good weather and good fellowship with our biking friends.
